Diesel has been sent in after the Secretary and Defence's son, a bit of slimmer if I'm honest! He was undertaking trade talks and being assisted by Reese, ex amy veteran, ex MMA fighter and now bodyguard. Reese has over come some major trauma including being tortured and raped by Al-Qaeda. Her first charge as bodyguard however looks to have gone FUBAR before she even gets her business off the ground! Diesel and the team manage to rescue them but he and Reese get separated from the team and make their own way to safety. They now have to evade warring factions in the Congo and those who profit from the warfare. The jungle setting is so carefully created, it kinda leaps off the page at you. I was feeling bugs walking on me! Reese has overcome so much and whilst wary and watchful around Diesel, she soon relaxes in his comfortable presence. The love story and action are well crafted but the summit between the factions was unrealistic in how quickly they set aside their differences. However, I'm allowing for artistic licence!
